Project Swimming Pool

Who would have thought that we will be able to start another project this year. However after our well deserved holiday in Spain our batteries are re-charged and we are ready to start with the project swimming pool.




This year we are blessed with a very hot, dry and long summer considering we only have began with the project at the end of September. It helps being well organised and prepared in order to run the project as smooth as possible and again Tobi has outdone himself. He is on the front and I'm in the background and together we wooped it.




Not that we will start the bathing season in 2018 but we are all prepared to have a great next spring & summer time having a swimming pool and cool down whenever we feel like it. For too long I had to do without the pleasure of going for a dip whenever I feel like it.




That is what I call a little bit of heaven….and a little bit of luxury in life. And again it motivates me to work hard in order to full fill a couple of dreams.




Spring 2019 the land scaping will commence as well as paving the swimming pool area but for now we will cover the swimming pool and just rest.

Vacation - Island of Mallorca

This years vacation leads us to the Island of Mallorca, Spain. All these years I've listened to how great a holiday on this so called "17th state of Germany" would be. So I wanted to find out myself what it is all about. Also, Mallorca is called the party island in particular the city of Palma de Mallorca, Ballermann (beach), however we looked for a different spot and booked accommodation on the east side at Cala Millor.




Traveling for almost 12 hours we finally arrived at our destination just before midnight in Cala Milor where we enjoyed a quick midnight snack after checking into our hotel. Who would have thought a trip from Germany to Spain takes halve a day, well....it can only get better. After a good night sleep we decided to take it slow, after all....we are on holidays. So we decided to hit the beach as well as checking out the pool area at the hotel. The swimming pool and area was pretty great, clean and quite compared to the beach which was unspectacular and packed with people, I guess I'm still spoilt by the vast, white beaches in Australia...nothing compares to these.



Nevertheless, we had a wonderful first day relaxing, swimming, enjoying food and checking out the shopping mall as well as the beach promenade. We better take it slow the first couple of days before my parents & brother with kids will join us here at the Sabina Hotel for my BIG 40th Birthday bash.
